EghtesadOnline: Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi on Monday strongly condemned terrorist explosion in Sadr city and central Baghdad which left tens of innocent people killed and wounded.

Qasemi expressed indignation at escalation of terrorist attacks in Iraq.

According to IRNA, he said that the moves are reaction of Takfiri terrorists to their recent failures, on one hand, and lack of serious resolve for fight against terrorism in the world and region, on the other.

He expressed hope that political trends in the New Year would lead to collective unity for international campaign against terrorism.

Qasemi expressed his deep sorrow for deaths and injuries of innocent Iraqi people in Baghdad blasts and offered condolences to Iraqi nation and government as well as the bereaved families.
